Storyline

Jaime Narbona, inspector de policía judicial, acude al lugar del crimen. Han asesinado al hijo de su compañero Toni Baena. En una de las paredes de la casa hay un mensaje: "Bienvenido al juego". Desde el primer momento, Jaime cree que el autor del crimen es Lázaro Herranz, un presunto asesino en serie que en el pasado intentó meter en la cárcel. Los crueles asesinatos se van sucediendo y la obsesión de Jaime le hace seguir adelante creyendo que con estos nuevos crímenes demostrará que Lázaro es el verdadero culpable. Pero la realidad será muy distinta a la que imagina... (FILMAFFINITY)

User Reviews

Exciting and dark Spanish thriller about a psycho killer , being shot in ¨Seven¨ style .

Bleak and gloomy Spanish film with high doses of violence , darksome moments and starred by a stellar cast as George Corraface , Ana Fernandez and Emilio Gutierrez Caba . Tension, suspense, and unsettling scenes when a cop and his family is harassed by a dangerous criminal and dealing with a mysterious series killer who executes slaughter . The son of a cop is murdered , at the crime scene comes the Police Inspector named Jaime (George Corraface) . But the murderer has had a lovely relationship with his wife (Ana Fernandez) and he seeks reckoning . Meanwhile , a reporter (Ana Otero) is investigating the deeds . The family in its own home is besieged and terrorized by the psycho-killer attacker and the Inspector looks for some twisted means to chase the murderous . Jaime's relentless pursuit leads to Lazaro (Emilio Gutierrez Caba) at a final confrontation but surprises and twists emerge .

Trilling , darkling picture about a children killer that contains chills , shocks , suspense , plot twists , grisly murders and numerous creepy scenes . Mirk and disturbing film that contains intrigue , action , suspense , twists and turns . This twisty film packs terrifying and hair-raising frames and images of blood and gore . It's darkly rendered and wildly thrilling . The picture's taut, intense and with propulsive murk momentums . This is a shadowy, sharp-eyed Spanish crime drama with intriguing narrative written by the same director who debuts in this crime flick ; being well developed , as we are interested on the events are we are really cared what happens to this people . This violent , murky story is filmed in naturalist and eerie style and some takes with camera over shoulder and Steadicam . While the look is suitable creepy and frightening, the argument spreads to the breaking point and the ending turns out to be a little frustrating . Good acting by protagonist trio such as Georges Corraface as Jaime , Ana Fernández as Julia and special mention to Emilio Gutiérrez Caba as an ominous psycho killer named Lazaro . Pretty good support cast such as Alberto Jiménez as Ivan , Magüi Mira as the forensic Virginia , Carlos Kaniowsky as Tony , Hector Colome and Ana Otero . Suspenseful and thrilling musical score by Luis Miguel Cobo . Dark and shaded cinematography by Juan Miguel Azpiroz , shot in Madrid and Barcelona ; filming in night , obscure settings and plenty of rain , similarly to ¨Seven¨ . The motion picture is strangely directed by Miguel Angel Vivas , an expert on rare , dim atmosphere as he also proved in ¨Secuestrados¨ that tells the story of how a Spanish family suffers an express kidnapping that takes place during one single night and is handled by a group of criminals from Eastern Europe , it achieved undoubted success and important reputation . "Reflections" ,International/English title, is a strong , abstruse film and quite a few impact, though failed at Spanish Box office . In spite of its violence and slow-moving narrative ¨Reflejos¨ results to be an acceptable and passable thriller .
